Le Ancore

Villa for holiday rental, Porto Ercole - Monte Argentario

Description

Le Ancore is a sensational penthouse apartment, which enjoys probably the most prestigious position in Porto Ercole, being located in the last building on the port's promenade. The apartment has two entrances, one on Viale Caravaggio where there is parking for two cars, and one that takes you via a lift to the port promenade. Directly in front of the lower entrance facing the port is a pontoon where the owner's gozzo (wooden fishing boat, included in the rental) is moored. The size of the terraces and the fact that there is open space at the front and the side and that it overlooks the Corsini botanic garden behind makes the apartment very quiet and private.
